Nieves performed construction work and was a musician. His sons followed in his footsteps and also became musicians. In 1895 they immigrated into the United States and lived for about 18 years in Terlingua where Nicanora, Pitano, Catarina, and Antonia were born. Their family servant Juán López was born in 1864.
